Welcome to Anyblok / Marshmallow’s documentation!

Front Matter

Information about the AnyBlok / Marshmallow project.

Project Homepage

AnyBlok is hosted on github - the main project page is at https://githusb.com/AnyBlok/AnyBlok_Marshmallow. Source code is tracked here using GIT.

Releases and project status are available on Pypi at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/anyblok_marshmallow.

The most recent published version of this documentation should be at http://doc.anyblok-marshmallow.anyblok.org.

Project Status

AnyBlok with Marshmallow is currently in beta status and is expected to be fairly stable. Users should take care to report bugs and missing features on an as-needed basis. It should be expected that the development version may be required for proper implementation of recently repaired issues in between releases;

Installation

Install released versions of AnyBlok from the Python package index with pip or a similar tool:

pip install anyblok_marshmallow

Installation via source distribution is via the setup.py script:

python setup.py install

Installation will add the anyblok commands to the environment.

Unit Test

Run the test with nose:

pip install nose
nosetests anyblok_marshmallow/tests

Dependencies

AnyBlok works with Python 3.3 and later. The install process will ensure that AnyBlok, marshmallow and marshmallow-sqlalchemy are installed, in addition to other dependencies. The latest version of them is strongly recommended.

Contributing (hackers needed!)

Anyblok / Marshmallow is at a very early stage, feel free to fork, talk with core dev, and spread the word!

Memento

Declare your AnyBlok model

from anyblok.column import Integer, String
from anyblok.relationship import Many2One, Many2Many
from anyblok import Declarations


@Declarations.register(Declarations.Model)
class City:

    id = Integer(primary_key=True)
    name = String(nullable=False)
    zipcode = String(nullable=False)

    def __repr__(self):
        return '<City(name={self.name!r})>'.format(self=self)


@Declarations.register(Declarations.Model)
class Tag:

    id = Integer(primary_key=True)
    name = String(nullable=False)

    def __repr__(self):
        return '<Tag(name={self.name!r})>'.format(self=self)


@Declarations.register(Declarations.Model)
class Customer:
    id = Integer(primary_key=True)
    name = String(nullable=False)
    tags = Many2Many(model=Declarations.Model.Tag)

    def __repr__(self):
        return '<Customer(name={self.name!r}, '
               'tags={self.tags!r})>'.format(self=self)


@Declarations.register(Declarations.Model)
class Address:

    id = Integer(primary_key=True)
    street = String(nullable=False)
    city = Many2One(model=Declarations.Model.City, nullable=False)
    customer = Many2One(
        model=Declarations.Model.Customer, nullable=False,
        one2many="addresses")

Warning

The AnyBlok model must be declared in a blok

Declare your schema

from anyblok_marshmallow import ModelSchema
from marshmallow import fields

class CitySchema(ModelSchema):

    class Meta:
        model = 'Model.City'


class TagSchema(ModelSchema):

    class Meta:
        model = 'Model.Tag'


class AddressSchema(ModelSchema):

    # follow the relationship Many2One and One2One
    city = fields.Nested(CitySchema)

    class Meta:
        model = 'Model.Address'


class CustomerSchema(ModelSchema):

    # follow the relationship One2Many and Many2Many
    # - the many=True is required because it is *2Many
    # - exclude is used to forbid the recurse loop
    addresses = fields.Nested(AddressSchema, many=True, exclude=('customer', ))
    tags = fields.Nested(TagSchema, many=True)

    class Meta:
        model = 'Model.Customer'
        # optionally attach an AnyBlok registry
        # to use for serialization, desarialization and validation
        registry = registry
        # optionally return an AnyBlok model instance
        post_load_return_instance = True


customer_schema = CustomerSchema()

(De)serialize your data and validate it

customer = registry.Customer.insert(name="JS Suzanne")
tag1 = registry.Tag.insert(name="tag 1")
customer.tags.append(tag1)
tag2 = registry.Tag.insert(name="tag 2")
customer.tags.append(tag2)
rouen = registry.City.insert(name="Rouen", zipcode="76000")
paris = registry.City.insert(name="Paris", zipcode="75000")
registry.Address.insert(customer=customer, street="Somewhere", city=rouen)
registry.Address.insert(customer=customer, street="Another place", city=paris)

dump_data = customer_schema.dump(customer).data
# {
#     'id': 1,
#     'name': 'JS Suzanne',
#     'tags': [
#         {
#             'id': 1,
#             'name': 'tag 1',
#         },
#         {
#             'id': 2,
#             'name': 'tag 2',
#         },
#     ],
#     'addresses': [
#         {
#             'id': 1
#             'street': 'Somewhere'
#             'city': {
#                 'id': 1,
#                 'name': 'Rouen',
#                 'zipcode': '76000',
#             },
#         },
#         {
#             'id': 2
#             'street': 'Another place'
#             'city': {
#                 'id': 2,
#                 'name': 'Paris',
#                 'zipcode': '75000',
#             },
#         },
#     ],
# }

customer_schema.load(dump_data).data
# <Customer(name='JS Suzanne' tags=[<Tag(name='tag 1')>, <Tag (name='tag 2')>])>

errors = customer_schema.validate(dump_data)
# dict with all the validating errors

Note

By default: the deserialization return a dict with deserialized data, here we get an instance of the model because the CustomerSchema add post_load_return_instance = True in their Meta

Give the registry

The schema need to have the registry.

If no registry found when the de(serialization) or validation then the RegistryNotFound exception will be raised.

Add the registry by the Meta

This is the solution given in the main exemple:

class CustomerSchema(ModelSchema):

    class Meta:
        model = 'Model.Customer'
        registry = registry

Add the registry during init

This solution is use during the instanciation

customer_schema = CustomerSchema(registry=registry)

Add the registry by the context

This solution is use during the instanciation or after

customer_schema = CustomerSchema(context={'registry': registry})

or

customer_schema = CustomerSchema()
customer_schema.context['registry'] = registry

Add the registry when the de(serialization or validatoris called

customer_schema.dump(customer, registry=registry)
customer_schema.load(dump_data, registry=registry)
customer_schema.validate(dump_data, registry=registry)

post_load_return_instance option

As the registry this option can be passed by initialization of the schema, by the context or during the call of methods

The value of this options can be:

  • False: default, the output is a dict
  • True: the output is an instance of the model. The primary keys must be in value
  • array of string: the output is an instance of the model, each str entry must be an existing column

Warning

If the option is not False, and the instance can no be found, then the instance error will be added in the errors dict of the method

Warning

The post load is only for load method!!!

Overriding Generated Fields

from anyblok_marshmallow import ModelSchema
from marshmallow import fields

class Customer(ModelSchema):

    date_created = field_for(Author, 'date_created', dump_only=True)

    class Meta:
        model = 'Model.Customer'

Code

Exceptions

RegistryNotFound

exception anyblok_marshmallow.schema.RegistryNotFound

Bases: Exception

Exception raised when no registry is found to build schema

with_traceback()

Exception.with_traceback(tb) – set self.__traceback__ to tb and return self.

update_from_kwargs

anyblok_marshmallow.schema.update_from_kwargs(*entries)

decorator to get temporaly the value in kwargs and put it in schema

Params entries:array ok entry name to take from the kwargs

format_field

anyblok_marshmallow.schema.format_fields(x)

remove the anyblok prefix form the field name

ModelConverter

class anyblok_marshmallow.schema.ModelConverter(schema_cls=None)

Bases: marshmallow_sqlalchemy.convert.ModelConverter

Overwrite the ModelConverter class of marshmallow-sqlalchemy

The goal if to fix the fieldname, because they are prefixed.

fields_for_model(*args, **kwargs)

Overwrite the method and remove prefix of the field name

ModelSchemaOpts

class anyblok_marshmallow.schema.ModelSchemaOpts(meta, *args, **kwargs)

Bases: marshmallow.schema.SchemaOpts

Model schema option for Model schema

Add get option from the Meta:

  • model: name of an AnyBlok model required
  • registry: an AnyBlok registry
  • post_load_return_instance: return an instance object

ModelSchema

class anyblok_marshmallow.schema.ModelSchema(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: marshmallow.schema.Schema

A marshmallow schema based on the AnyBlok Model

Wrap the real schema, because at the instanciation the registry is not available

class Meta

Bases: object

Options object for a Schema.

Example usage:

class Meta:
    fields = ("id", "email", "date_created")
    exclude = ("password", "secret_attribute")

Available options:

  • fields: Tuple or list of fields to include in the serialized result.
  • additional: Tuple or list of fields to include in addition to the
    explicitly declared fields. additional and fields are mutually-exclusive options.
  • include: Dictionary of additional fields to include in the schema. It is
    usually better to define fields as class variables, but you may need to use this option, e.g., if your fields are Python keywords. May be an OrderedDict.
  • exclude: Tuple or list of fields to exclude in the serialized result.
    Nested fields can be represented with dot delimiters.
  • dateformat: Date format for all DateTime fields that do not have their
    date format explicitly specified.
  • strict: If True, raise errors during marshalling rather than
    storing them.
  • json_module: JSON module to use for loads and dumps.
    Defaults to the json module in the stdlib.
  • ordered: If True, order serialization output according to the
    order in which fields were declared. Output of Schema.dump will be a collections.OrderedDict.
  • index_errors: If True, errors dictionaries will include the index
    of invalid items in a collection.
  • load_only: Tuple or list of fields to exclude from serialized results.
  • dump_only: Tuple or list of fields to exclude from deserialization
ModelSchema.OPTIONS_CLASS

alias of ModelSchemaOpts

ModelSchema.accessor(func)

Decorator that registers a function for pulling values from an object to serialize. The function receives the Schema instance, the key of the value to get, the obj to serialize, and an optional default value.

Deprecated since version 2.0.0: Set the error_handler class Meta option instead.

ModelSchema.dumps(obj, many=None, update_fields=True, *args, **kwargs)

Same as dump(), except return a JSON-encoded string.

Parameters:
  • obj – The object to serialize.
  • many (bool) – Whether to serialize obj as a collection. If None, the value for self.many is used.
  • update_fields (bool) – Whether to update the schema’s field classes. Typically set to True, but may be False when serializing a homogenous collection. This parameter is used by fields.Nested to avoid multiple updates.
Returns:

A tuple of the form (data, errors)

Return type:

MarshalResult, a collections.namedtuple

New in version 1.0.0.

ModelSchema.error_handler(func)

Decorator that registers an error handler function for the schema. The function receives the Schema instance, a dictionary of errors, and the serialized object (if serializing data) or data dictionary (if deserializing data) as arguments.

Example:

class UserSchema(Schema):
    email = fields.Email()

@UserSchema.error_handler
def handle_errors(schema, errors, obj):
    raise ValueError('An error occurred while marshalling {}'.format(obj))

user = User(email='invalid')
UserSchema().dump(user)  # => raises ValueError
UserSchema().load({'email': 'bademail'})  # raises ValueError

New in version 0.7.0.

Deprecated since version 2.0.0: Set the error_handler class Meta option instead.

ModelSchema.generate_marsmallow_instance(registry, post_load_return_instance)

Generate the real mashmallow-sqlalchemy schema

ModelSchema.get_attribute(attr, obj, default)

Defines how to pull values from an object to serialize.

New in version 2.0.0.

ModelSchema.handle_error(error, data)

Custom error handler function for the schema.

Parameters:
  • error (ValidationError) – The ValidationError raised during (de)serialization.
  • data – The original input data.

New in version 2.0.0.

ModelSchema.loads(json_data, many=None, *args, **kwargs)

Same as load(), except it takes a JSON string as input.

Parameters:
  • json_data (str) – A JSON string of the data to deserialize.
  • many (bool) – Whether to deserialize obj as a collection. If None, the value for self.many is used.
  • partial (bool|tuple) – Whether to ignore missing fields. If None, the value for self.partial is used. If its value is an iterable, only missing fields listed in that iterable will be ignored.
Returns:

A tuple of the form (data, errors)

Return type:

UnmarshalResult, a collections.namedtuple

New in version 1.0.0.

ModelSchema.on_bind_field(field_name, field_obj)

Hook to modify a field when it is bound to the Schema. No-op by default.

ModelSchema.schema

property to get the real schema

You may not attempt to alter or restrict the recipients’ rights in the Source Code Form.

3.2. Distribution of Executable Form

If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then:

  • Such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code Form, as
    described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of the Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no more than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and
  • You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this License, or
    sublicense it under different terms, provided that the license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter the recipients’ rights in the Source Code Form under this License.

3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work

You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice, provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary License(s).

3.4. Notices

You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices (including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty, or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.

3.5. Application of Additional Terms

You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support, indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any jurisdiction.

4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation

6. Disclaimer of Warranty

Warning

Covered Software is provided under this License on an “as is” basis, without warranty of any kind, either expressed, implied, or statutory, including, without limitation, warranties that the Covered Software is free of defects, merchantable, fit for a particular purpose or non-infringing. The entire risk as to the quality and performance of the Covered Software is with You. Should any Covered Software prove defective in any respect, You (not any Contributor) assume the cost of any necessary servicing, repair, or correction. This disclaimer of warranty constitutes an essential part of this License. No use of any Covered Software is authorized under this License except under this disclaimer.

7. Limitation of Liability

Warning

Under no circumstances and under no legal theory, whether tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise, shall any Contributor, or anyone who distributes Covered Software as permitted above, be liable to You for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any character including, without limitation, damages for lost profits, loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all other commercial damages or losses, even if such party shall have been informed of the possibility of such damages. This limitation of liability shall not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from such party’s negligence to the extent applicable law prohibits such limitation. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so this exclusion and limitation may not apply to You.

8. Litigation

Any litigation relating to this License may be brought only in the courts of a jurisdiction where the defendant maintains its principal place of business and such litigation shall be governed by laws of that jurisdiction, without reference to its conflict-of-law provisions.
